North Pocono's Katlyn Ivanoff sends a shot over Tunkhannock's Alison Leiser and Sommer Gaydos (10) during the third game their match Thursday. North Pocono won, 3-0.

Rebecca Carmody had 18 kills, four aces and five digs and Anna Krenitsky had eight kills and two blocks Thursday as Western Wayne defeated Dunmore, 3-2, to end the Lady Bucks' 43-match Lackawanna League girls volleyball winning streak.

"Our passing was exceptional," Western Wayne coach Darren Thorpe said. "Our hitting was kind of hot and cold and a lot of the credit for that goes to Dunmore because they are such a good team, that shots weren't hitting the floor. But the passing was the best that it's been all year."

Dunmore had defeated Western Wayne, 3-0, in the first game of season Aug. 31, but Thorpe said his team was still confident going into the rematch.

"They were excited about (Thursday)," he said. "They felt as though we could beat them. The girls were disappointed with how the first game turned out. They knew they could play better and they played better tonight."

Kristin Thorpe had 35 assists and one ace for the Lady Wildcats. Michelle Arnold had five aces and two digs.

Izzy Cooper had 12 kills, nine assists and seven digs for Dunmore. Molly McCafferty added 21 assists, three kills and two digs, Marina Pegula had 20 digs and three aces and Erica Bistran had seven kills, 11 points, one ace and five digs.
